StretchIQ must comply with the National Privacy Principles (NPPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and other privacy laws that govern how private sector health service providers like StretchIQ handle your personal information.

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to clearly communicate to you how StretchIQ handles your personal information. It will give you a better and more complete understanding of the type of personal information that StretchIQ holds about you and the way StretchIQ handles that information.

2. HOW STRETCHIQ HANDLES YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

2.1 StretchIQ’s Legal Obligations

As set out in Part 1 of this Privacy Policy, StretchIQ is required to comply with the NPPs under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

The NPPs regulate how StretchIQ may collect, use, disclose and store personal information and how individuals may access and correct personal information which we hold about them.

In order to provide you with the stretches/exercises that you have requested, StretchIQ will need to collect and use your personal information. If you provide incomplete or inaccurate information to us or withhold personal information from us we may not be able to provide you with the services you are seeking.

In this Privacy Policy, we use the term "personal information" as it is defined in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). This means: "information or an opinion (including information or an opinion forming part of a database, whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material format or not, about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained, from the information or opinion".

Personal information also includes 'sensitive information' which is information such as your race, religion, political opinions or sexual preferences and health information. Information which is 'sensitive information' attracts a higher privacy standard under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and is subject to additional mechanisms for your protection.

2.2 What information does StretchIQ collect?

We collect information from you that is necessary to provide you with the stretches/exercises we promote.

We will usually collect your personal information directly from you.

We will only do this if you have consented for us to collect your information in this way or where it is not reasonable or practical for us to collect this information directly from you.

StretchIQ does not collect or retain any credit card information, which is used solely for the processing of your order through NAB Transact.
